This knit quilt is about everything one calls sweet home - coziness, warmth, and the smell of a freshly baked berry pie. Similar to how we combine different berries to create unique treats every time, Berry Pie Blanket makes a deliciously addictive and satisfying stash busting project that allows to combine yarns of different colors and of almost any weights to knit something very special.

The blanket is both pretty easy and entertaining to knit, as it is based on alternating 9 different short-repeat stitch patterns. This project is great for using leftover yarn as well as for knitting up those odd skeins from your stash.

The size of a finished blanket is completely up to you - either you’d like to make a gift for a baby or a cozy throw for your home. Instructions for calculating yardage for your specific blanket are provided.

Yarn
Combine all the yarn weights, brands and colors you wish!
Each square measures 5.1” x 5.1” / 13 x 13cm and requires approx. 0.5oz / 14g of yarn:

• Bulky - in 1 strand, 18-22yds / 16-20m
• Worsted - in 2 strands, 29-34yds / 26-31m
• Sport - in 3 strands, 38-45yds / 35-41m
• Fingering - in 4 strands, 55-65yds / 50-60m

Construction

• The blanket is knit as several vertical stripes of squares that are later sewn together, which makes it easy to carry your project around.
• The number of squares per stripe, as well as the number of completed stripes can be changed depending on the desired size of a blanket.

Pattern Details

• Pattern contains both written instructions and charts.
• Individual squares are knit using various combinations of knit and purl stitches, and a simple 2-stitch cable pattern.
• If you’d like to change the number of stitches in some individual squares to better fit your yarn, the stitch count recommendations are added for each square pattern for your convenience.
• Several grids for sketching a blanket and planning color distribution are provided as well.
